Purpose of the Parents Association

Western Kentucky University Parents Association serves as the official parent and
family member organization. The Association links our institution and the parents
and family members of current students. Its primary purpose is to support the mission
of WKU Parent and Family Programs--to engage parents and family members of current
WKU students as partners in ensuring student success.

The Parents Association achieves this purpose by:

Directly connecting parents and family members of current WKU students to University
administrators;

Supporting Parent and Family Programs events and activities;

Providing feedback and identifying and advocating needs and concerns of other WKU
parents and family members to University administrators;

Assisting the University in fundraising for the Parents Fund which supports non-university
funded programs and student directed initiatives; and,

Engaging in outreach activities designed to acquaint prospective students, parents,
and family members with WKU, promote Parents Association membership, and connect parents
and family members to each other.
